Percepção de pais mães e/ou responsáveis sobre o uso de telas na infância

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the perception of parents and guardians regarding the use of screens in childhood, of children aged between 2 and 10 years who are in speech therapy at Clínica Escola de Fonoaudiologia da PUC Goiás. Methodology: This study is a qualitative cross-sectional study that aims to analyze the perception of fathers, mothers and/or guardians about the use of screens in childhood. 10 interviews were conducted with fathers, mothers and guardians about the use of screens in childhood. Discussion and Results: The main perception of parents was that screens can cause eye injuries and mood changes. and mood changes: It was possible to verify that the participants are aware of the risks and benefits of the use of screens, but it was noticed that most of the interviewed are unable to delimit the time of screen use by children and, many times, do not supervise the content that their children watch/play in electronic media. These findings corroborate the data in the specific literature on the subject.
